My Warm Wind- This is the Place
You are big. 
 A warm dark cavern 
 ready to spring forth with life
 upon a single stroke.
 
 The soft air inside you 
 is teeming with vigor, waiting to wake
 from the darkness.
 A gentle wind blows through you,  
 and resonates with the walls. 
 
 Everyone needs that wind.
 It cuts through the mustiness 
 to bring fresh air, 
 revitalizing the soul.
 Take a deep breath, 
 For it may be
 
 Rainy today, and worse tomorrow,
 more dark clouds follow.
 Thunderheads.
 They loom above, 
 but
 
 You are big.
 Just big enough to hide in, 
 and only me.
 But what of the others?
 
 One can only hope that they, too, 
 have caves that, when the wind howls,
 it sifts through soft air and sounds 
 sweet as music in the warm summer rain
